Bank: "????"
All the viewers in the livestream: "????"
Are they actually asking the bank to prove Zhao Yishan’s acquaintance with the criminals?
Also asking the bank to prove... that Zhao Yishan knew the money he received was from criminals?
Zhang Yifan was completely dumbfounded.
No, how can that be proven?
You’re accomplices with the criminals yet expecting the bank to help prove it?
Zhang Yifan said, "Nonsense! I think the defense lawyer is just talking nonsense!"
"The facts are right here!"
"You can’t explain, so you’re asking our bank to explain for you?"
"I’ve already said that the statement records aren’t necessarily true! Can you explain clearly the matters between Zhao Yishan and the criminals?"
"Why would the criminals help Zhao Yishan pay money?"
"The criminals used the money they robbed from the bank to pay for the medical treatment for Zhao Yishan’s family, that’s a known fact."
"Saying they don’t know each other, who’d believe it?"
"I don’t believe it, the audience won’t believe it, the many viewers watching the livestream won’t believe it either!"
Zhang Yifan was completely angry.
No...
This Lawyer Gu is really good at arguing!
Why does he want the bank to provide evidence for everything?
Lawyer Gu, hearing Zhang Yifan say this, just smiled and said, "So what you’re saying is, you don’t have explicit evidence to prove Zhao Yishan knew the robbers, right? No explicit evidence to overturn the police’s statement, correct?"
"The one who asserts must prove, you have no evidence, which means Zhao Yishan has no relationship with the robbers."
"Then Zhao Yishan isn’t guilty of robbery, let alone an accomplice of the robbers."
"As for why the robbers gave money to the bank to help cure Zhao Yishan’s father, you’ll have to ask the robbers, what’s it got to do with my client?"
Zhang Yifan was completely furious at this point!
How could it have no relation?
Shit!
Shit!
Shit!
Zhang Yifan stood up in anger!
"Alright, you want me to provide evidence, right?"
"I have evidence here, proving Zhao Yishan knew Zhang Yifan! Maybe the police didn’t investigate thoroughly, or the statement records are false!"
"Look here!"
"This is the student list from Qinghe First Middle School!"
"Of course, this is the student list from fifteen years ago, when they were in the first year of middle school!"
"And this list shows Zhao Yishan and these robbers are acquaintances! They know each other!! They are classmates!! They were once classmates in the same class, and now you say they don’t know each other, is that possible?"
"The police’s record says they have no relationship, but can it be unrelated? Classmate relationship is not a relationship?"
"Lawyer Gu, what else do you have to say now?"
"It’s already obvious!"
"Zhao Yishan knows the robbers..."
"Then Zhao Yishan and the robbers planned a bank robbery!"
Zhang Yifan continued, "Zhao Yishan caused a disturbance at Rui Mao Bank, attracting the staff’s attention, then other criminals took the opportunity to prepare and plan the robbery, and these people waited for the right moment inside the bank."
"In the end, Zhao Yishan signaled, he shattered the counter."
"The bank robbers rushed in!"
"After successfully robbing, these robbers took the money to the hospital and helped with Zhao Yishan’s father’s surgery. Although it’s understandable, robbing the bank is still wrong!"
"This is the true course of events!!"
"This is why the bank was robbed!"
"These robbers are definitely acquainted with Zhao Yishan!!"
After Zhang Yifan spoke for a long time.
Viewers in the livestream were half skeptical.
[No, why do I feel like what the bank said makes sense?]
[Although Rui Mao Bank isn’t a person, I really feel like what it’s saying seems to have some logic....]
[It does seem possible they know each other, otherwise, why didn’t the robbers give the money to someone else, and instead gave it specifically to help Zhao Yishan’s father for treatment? Isn’t that too absurd....]
[Plus they were junior high classmates, then everything makes sense.]
[If this is true, then Zhao Yishan being sentenced for robbery would not be unjust.]
Netizens in the livestream started speaking up.
And at this moment....
Xue Qingqing worriedly looked at her boss.
How to defend now?
How to prove innocence now?
The key is these connected incidents, indeed, seem quite unbelievable.
Even for the boss... perhaps this case is rather tricky.
Gu Chen then took out some materials and submitted them.
Gu Chen said, "Your Honor, I object!"
The judge looked at Gu Chen and said, "Go ahead."
Gu Chen stood up and said, "Everything above is just the opposing lawyer making up stories."
"The fact is, Zhao Yishan indeed doesn’t know these robbers."
"These robbers also don’t know Zhao Yishan...."
"According to their call records, WeChat chat records, and the criminals’ confessions, they have no contact with Zhao Yishan, even though they lived in the same city all these years, they haven’t met since graduating middle school nor have any contact."
"I want to ask, who still remembers what their junior high classmates looked like?"
"After graduation for more than ten years, if there wasn’t intentional contact, forgetting junior high classmates’ names is very normal."
Gu Chen then took out another set of materials and said, "Here is another statement from the police, which I personally investigated a few days ago."
"These criminals confessed."
"There are three of them, all sons of their parents, their mother passed early, their father is still in the hospital... with cancer, needs surgery...."
"But they didn’t have money, they borrowed from everyone and didn’t get much."
"So they thought of robbing a bank...."
"After robbing the bank, they paid the money... and bought medicine with the remaining money..."
"At the bank, they noticed Zhao Yishan, they didn’t rob his money."
"They knew Zhao Yishan also needed treatment."
"Their dad was just in a hospital..... coincidentally encountered."
"These robbers know how it feels to not have money for surgery, they saw Zhao Yishan’s situation at the bank... so they paid the hospital for his surgery..."
"After they paid, Zhao Yishan knew someone paid...."
"Zhao Yishan was unaware from beginning to end."
"And this is the entire truth."
"Here is the statement."
Gu Chen submitted the statement.
And the scene... fell silent!
